What's the type of suppository that was prescribed? Is it glycerin or something else?
8/16-12/16: Fissure due to antibiotics
5/17: Botox to sphincter, fissure healed
9/19: Trigger point injections and pudendal nerve block
11/19: Botox to pelvic floor
8/20: Botox to pelvic floor in new location.
On and off in pelvic physical therapy

I use the glycerin ones on and off and depending on the size (I used half a pediatric size), that should not cause diarrhea. I do find that they can cause some burning, so using a barrier ointment after insertion (like Vaseline), will help with that. I usually find that I can't hold the suppository for more than 10-15 minutes before the urge to have a BM gets too strong.
